Details

In CCK wizard "Customize Proxy Configurations" window, fill in info for Manual Proxy Config and Auto Proxy Config URL, but select Direct connection. Build the installer and lanuch the browser, go to Edit|Preferences|Advanced|Proxies. And see all.js in c:\program files\netscape\netscape 6\defaults\pref that the info are present.

Does this cause any problem like crash?
No, this problem doesn't cause any trouble.
Well, I think we are safe. In the browser, if we fill in info for Manual Proxy Config and Auto Proxy Config URL, but select Direct connection and view pref.js file, we see the info present. CCK also does the same, but CCK writes info into all.js file. Should we mark this bug invalid since it does'nt cause any problem or undesired behavior?
WONTFIX seems to fit the description better: it is consistent with Browser's behavior but not necessary correct. Comments?
Marking WONTFIX.

Personally, I think this is still a bug even though it doesn't causes any problem. Because a user maybe be modifying a previous config that contains proxy setting but decided to use direct connnection for the new config. And those proxy info exist in the new config. Instead, the user will have to manually remove the previous proxy info. This is not a critical problem but I think it will be good for tracking purpose. Will drop the severity of this bug.

I think this behavior is OK. We could add info to the Guide and/or Help, to clarify this and insruct the users to clear the text fields if they don't want these values written to the default prefs. Reopening and assigning to kristif.

This was not FIXED, so it should either be RESOLVED as WONTFIX or INVALID with an explanation. Some comments favored WONTFIX and some favored INVALID...
Reopening.
